Custom Fill Pattern

[mark.johnson4]

I'm attempting to add a surface pattern on a wall with unequal horizontal parallel lines, spaced alternately 8", 4" etc.

I tried creating a new pat file, but can't seem to get anything more than 4" consistently spaced lines.
I need parallel horizontal lines with 8" offset, then 4", then 8", then 4" and so forth repeating.
All I can manage to get are 4" repeating parallel lines.
Can I get someone to correct the code I'm using...

*Centria,  CS-220
;%TYPE=MODEL
0,             0,             0,         0,             4
0,             0,             4,         0,             4
0,             0,             8,         0,             4
0,             0,             12,        0,             4

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're getting close. You only need two lines described, one which is four inches above the other, and each will repeat twelve inches apart (4" spacing + 8" spacing = 12" total separation from one line to its repeat). Try this code here:

*4-8 repeat,
;%TYPE=MODEL
0, 0, 0, 0, 12
0, 0, 4, 0, 12

That will produce this pattern:

@Redrunner92 has you covered.

Case you are curious, if you are frequently writing your own PAT files, we also provide a free real-time drawing platform for PAT files. That way when you change a value, you can see the results immediately. And you no longer need to constantly re-save/re-load/repeat to try and test out a pattern. Cheers :birthday_cake:
